DRUGGISTS LABEL-CASE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 308,076, dated November 18, 1884.

Application filed May 31, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, BOYD KEITH, of Kansas City, Jackson county, Missouri, have invented a new and useful Druggists Label- Oase, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention consists of a cabinet or case of suitable capacity, and preferably of ornamental construction, that is provided with small open-faced compartments, in which the labels are placed and held with upper edges inclined outward by means of a spring-follower.

Reference is tobe had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved label-case, and Figs. 2 and 3 are transverse sections of a full-size single compartment.

The case may be constructed of any suitable wood, and is formed with a number of horizontal rows of compartments that are composed of the back H, top and bottom B, beveled at the front edge, 0, for the purpose of guiding the upper edges of the labels toward the front opening, and the facing-block F, that has a segment of its upper edge cut away, so as to exhibit the title of the labels that are con: tained in the compartment. After labels have been placed within the compartments they are pressed against the inclined inner side of the before-mentioned face-block F by the follower-block D and the spring E;

use,tend to press the labels outwardly and upwardly, so that their upper edges project quite or nearly out of the front opening. The front of the case is trimmed with moldings, as G.

The title of the labels may be exhibited by cutting away the upper edge of the face-blocks F, as described and shown, or the titles can be attached to the outer surface thereof, as may be desired.

Having thus described my invention,I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a druggists label-case, a series of compartments in horizontal rows that are placed one above the other, and conform in size to the dimensions of the labels therein to be contained, in combination with the facing-blocks F, having their upper edge cut away to exhibit a portion of the said labels, and their inner side beveled to form an incline, substantially in the manner and for the purposes set forth.

'2. In a label-case, the combination, with a series of compartmentsin horizontal rows that are placed one above the other, of the facingblocks F,having their inner sides inclined as shown, and the followers D, provided with the spring E, forurging the labels outwardly and upward, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

BOYD KEITH.
